July 4th!!!

I wanted to started a thread not as a game but just as a question....July 4th is our Independence Day here in the states and I know that each country has their own day of celebrating freedoms...
I thought it would be enat to post what each of us is thankful for this year as this holiday approaches!
And by all means, if your country has specific dates/holidays/traditions, please post them and let us know how you celebrate...We just love learning about all our furriends!!!
